The authors describe an improved phantom material for use in near infrared spectroscopy
and imaging. The material consists of a clear epoxy resin with absorbing dyes and …

The note describes a stable, reproducible phantom which replicates the optical properties of
tissue, for use in near infrared spectroscopy and imaging. The base material is a clear …

A phantom based on a polyurethane system that replicates the optical properties of tissue for
use in near-infrared imaging is described. The absorption properties of tissue are simulated …

Tissue inhomogeneity is often neglected in the analysis of the spectral data collected in
tissues. We have measured the absorption and reduced scattering spectra of the human …

A method for image reconstruction of the effective size and number density of scattering
particles is discussed within the context of interpreting near-infrared (NIR) tomography …

Predictions from Mie theory regarding the wavelength dependence of scattering in tissue
from the near UV to the near IR are discussed and compared with experiments on tissue …

In order to quantify near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) data on an inhomogeneous medium,
knowledge of the contribution of the various parts of the medium to the total NIRS signal is …

Abstract Background and Objective Modeling of light transport in tissue requires
development of theoretical models and experimental procedures, as well as tissue …

A flexible and fast Monte Carlo-based model of diffuse reflectance has been developed for
the extraction of the absorption and scattering properties of turbid media, such as human …

The results of this study clarify the influence of probe geometry on spectroscopic
measurements obtained from the surface of a turbid biological tissue. We show that the …
